Does anyone know anything about this wood other than it is/was used for staffs and the like? What does it come from? Perhaps then this page could be merged with that page (if it exists) and this just made a redirect.

(a) A tree or shrub (
Ligustrum lucidum) of China, on which certain insects make a thick deposit of a substance resembling white wax.
(b) A kind of sumac (
Rhus succedanea) of Japan, the berries of which yield a sort of wax.
(c) A rubiaceous tree (
Elaeagia utilis) of New Grenada, called by the inhabitants ``arbol del cera.
I only know that the first of those (Chinese privet or wax tree privet) is certainly a source of wax wood, and that seems like the plant described in this article. I don't know about the others. It seems to me that maybe this article should be merged with
Ligustrum lucidum. -
